Collaboration and Proofing tools

Packaging artworks are reviewed and approved by at least 6 to 9 different departments, with each function contributing to a specific portion of the copy text information. Communication typically happens through multiple emails and phone calls. Since many individuals representing these departments have to collaborate together, the absence of an artwork management system leads to unstructured communication. This leads to delays in artwork release and can subsequently delay product launch. Repetitive reworks are sometime due to lack of a proper understanding of what was requested to be changed and where.

Packaging Artwork Management is evolving from a departmental file management tool to an enterprise wide workflow and collaboration system. With collaboration and proofing tools in place, its simple to verify, compare and annotate on your artwork.
